justinrh 174 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I suppose you are asking about optical/disc drives. For clarity, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot compare to anything... why would I have two? Edited January 15 by js28194 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1560 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Well, now thats sorted out - dunno really. I have an LG ns55 in one bay of the main PC and a Pioneer S12UHT in the other. I find the Pioneer is slower but generally more successful. So if a 4K gives errors on the LG, its OK on the Pioneer, not always, but enough to be useful. This info isn't much use considering Pioneers firmware issues, but just thought I'd mention it - faster isn't always better (for me). Might be worth getting one pre-flashed. I flashed one of my drives, easy, no problem, but was still freaking out over ruining a brand new drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all4dom 73 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 @arrbee99I don't remember if I found the ns55 during my search. I used 2 sites, make mkv & dvd fab to learn about the uhd friendly drives & make mkv likes the pioneer drrives & dvd fab does not. Seems to be an asus & lg are the middle ones where they play nice with both. I understand how you need the original fw or one that's modified & bith sites offer that. So i ordered an lg but it's not gonna be here until next week. I think the lg is the ns40. I can get the asus quicker for a but more so that's why I was asking which was better.

arrbee99 1560 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Sorry I'm not helping. Just think if its on MakeMKV's approved list you'll be fine, and getting the cheaper one that does the same as the more expensive one for less seems good to me.

all4dom 73 Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 I agree. Just hate waiting. Hopefully the drive arrives early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
